India cricket captain Virat Kohli is set to marry long-time girlfriend and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma in a much-anticipated wedding in Italy this week, according to media reports on Sunday. Rumours started swirling when Kohli pulled out of India's limited-overs matches against Sri Lanka and Sharma also ducked out of her busy acting schedule in December.
Indian TV channels have gone into overdrive over what they have billed as the "wedding of the year". "A heritage property within a resort in Tuscany is being decked up for the wedding," the Hindustan Times said on Sunday. The celebrity couple and their families have reportedly flown out of India for the week-long celebrations. A grand reception is also planned in Mumbai on December 26.
There has been no confirmation from the couple.
